Hi, I'm back again... well, then we take the "group" project seriously? 
If so, let me structure it a bit before puting up a web page.

  Ok, that's easy.

  Pointers here to subscribe this newsgroup for these matters?

  Again, sugesting use of this newsgroup for discussion? Perhaps also 
sugesting to post images/sketches to p.i.b?

  Ok, Feb.16th, that's about 4 weeks since today.

  There is no much problem about bandwith, I don't pay per traffic. And the 
server has still 38 of 40 Gb free on HD. I can create an email account for 
submisions of zipped code, images for discussion about inclusion can be 
posted on p.i.b.

  The way most easy for you, ftp, mail, http... choose one! :)

  Hmmm... I think this can be discused here, if we are using it as HQ. I 
can arrange an alternate mailing list for the project discussions, but as 
this newsgroup seems not very active I see no problem using it. If I 
remember well, all this started as a way to reactive this group, isn't?

  So, the web page will serve to have the project guidelines online, to 
centralize the submisions, to distribute the scene code and to show the 
working image (and the final one at the end of the the project). 

  Opinions?
